In 2008, Charlotte Dennett ran for Attorney General in Vermont.
Dennett’s key campaign pledge – if elected, she would appoint Vincent Bugliosi as a special prosecutor to seek a murder indictment against George W. Bush for the deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
Bugliosi was the author of The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder (Perseus Books, 2008)
He also had an enviable track record as an assistant district attorney in Los Angeles – 105 out of 106 successful felony jury convictions and 21 murder convictions without a loss.
Bugliosi is best known for his 1974 classic Helter Skelter – which documents his successful prosecution of Charles Manson and several other members of the Manson family for the 1969 murders of Hollywood actress Sharon Tate and six others.
Manson was not present at the murder scene.
When Dennett announced her candidacy for Attorney General of Vermont in September 2008, Bugliosi was at her side.
Now, Dennett has written a book – The People v. Bush: One Lawyer’s Campaign to Bring the President to Justice and the National Grassroots Movement She Encounters Along the Way (Chelsea Green, 2010).

Except for the necons, neo-colonialists, neo-fascists (abundant everywhere) and Zionists, all those who have been interested in to see the war criminals like Bush, Cheney and British twit Blair brought to justice have thus far been disappointed.
Some Americans want to see them indicted for war crimes and crimes against humnaity. I support every legal move on these lines against the war criminals.
What about the unnecessary deaths of our military men and women, and the thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens who were killed by our bombings? I`m afraid that the people of this country no longer have the stomach for such action.
